John ESTMOND (c1580-1646)

and Ann TWYNIHO (c1590-1635)

It has been brought to my attention that the following may be incorrect.  I have copied the details from other family histories and have not checked the validity of the data for myself.  At some point someone has assumed George Estmond of Sussex was the son of John Estmond of Dorset.  When John made his will in 1645, he did mentioned a son George, who would have been about 22 years old at the time and in an apprenticeship, but is this sufficient to assume our George was the son of John, or is there some other evidence?

The 1677 Visitation of Dorset notes that John's son George married an Elizabeth they had daughters.  Whereas the George in Sussex was said to have married Mary Pitfield and they also only had daughters.  In George's will he mentioned wife Mary.

John Esmond and Anne Twyniho may have been my 10x Great Grandparents.  They married in 1617 in Turnworth, Dorset.  (Click here to see their possible place in my pedigree chart.)  I note some other family histories have her name as Elizabeth Twinyhoe.

John Estmond was born about 1580.  He was the son of Thomas Estmond (?-1607) and Johanna Pyne.  He made his will on 17 April 1645 and probate was granted on 10 May 1647.  He died on 15 February and was buried on 17 February 1645/6/7 in Shroton, Dorset (date needs to be checked in original registers).  He was the Rector of St. Mary, Shroton from 1613 and held a Bachelor of Divinity.  Shroton is also known as Iwerne Courtney.  St. Mary's at Shroton was rebuilt in 1610 and paid for by Sir Thomas Freke.

From Foster's Alumni Oxonienses. JOHN ESTMOND of Dorset, gent. New Coll. Matric. 13 Oct., 1598, aged 18. B.A. 15 Ap., 1602, M.A. 31 Jan., 1605-6, B.D. 19 Nov., 1612. Licensed to preach 29 Nov., 1613.

Ann Twinyhoe was the daughter of George Twynio, gent of Turnwood in Dorset (as per the 1677 Visitation of Dorset).  She was buried on the 6 June 1635 in Shroton and the entry in the parish register records that she was “The most deer and loving wyfe of Jn Bach of Div”.  Ann was said to have been the Great Granddaughter of George Twinyhoe and Ann or Elizabeth Audley.  I am told Ann was the daughter of George Twynicks and Ursula Baskett.
